I agree that it could be done on a system other than the git server (though it's more efficient if hooked into git hooks), but it'd be nice to have an automated service running on kernel.org, rather than something every interested kernel developer has to run for themselves. I'd certainly like to have mails telling me when a patch I submitted gets merged, like those I get from Andrew Morton's automated scripts. - Josh Triplett
